Celebrity Divorce

Sources tell us there is no prenuptial agreement -- they were married in 1980, before Mel Gibson amassed a fortune estimated at $900 million back in 2006. Under the laws of California, community property -- which includes earnings -- is divided 50/50.

The Gibsons have 7 children, but only one -- Tom, who turns 10 tomorrow -- is a minor. In Robyn's legal papers, filed this morning in L.A. County Superior Court, she seeks joint physical and legal custody of Tom.

Robyn is also asking for spousal support and attorneys fees.

Robyn lists the date of separation as "to be determined." This is important, because earnings generally cease to be community property when the couple separates. There could be a skirmish over this. We're told the couple grew increasingly apart over the last few years, especially since Mel's drunk driving arrest in 2006.

There have been reports that Mel has been involved with another woman, which the actor denies, but we're told the reasons for the divorce go beyond any third party.

If there is a fight, Robyn is in good hands -- she's repped by disso-queen Laura Wasser, who has handled divorces for the likes of Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears and Stevie Wonder.

UPDATE: Robyn and Mel Gibson just issued a statement: "Throughout our marriage and separation we have always strived to maintain the privacy and integrity of our family and will continue to do so."

Sources tell TMZ the couple has been separated for more than 2 1/2 years. We'll see if Robyn agrees. Again, the separation date is important in dividing assets.

Romain was leaving a club in West Hollywood last night -- with a new chick -- when he explained that the whole war-of-the-roses deal with Shauna will come out in court. Romain, who was booked on felony domestic violence, scoffed at Shauna's claim.

Isn't love wonderful?

Giersch didn't want their two-year-old son, Hermes Gustaf, to travel with Kelly to NYC to film "Gossip Girl." The judge allowed the travel temporarily, and today Giersch's lawyer says everyone will probably agree to some permanent custody deal.

Rutherford, who plays Lily van der Woodsen on the show, is pregnant with their second child ... always awkward.

Ken Wahl, the dude who starred in "Wiseguy," claims he's destitute and blames it on a conspiracy between his former business manager and Wahl's ex-wife.

Wahl's lawsuit, filed yesterday in L.A. County Superior Court, claims he hired Henry Levine back in the day to take care of his finances. Wahl says Levine had the dreaded power of attorney. The actor explains how his career was red hot from 1983 to 1991.

But things changed radically in '91. Wahl divorced his wife, Corinne Alphen and gave her "ALL of the community property assets." Dumb move. The assets included a Malibu mansion and an estate in Boston, worth "many millions of dollars."

The suit claims during Wahl's marriage Levine entered into a "secret business manager relationship" with Corinne. He says after they got divorced, Corinne squandered Wahl's money "on plastic surgeries, facials, and massages" from the sale of the Malibu property -- Wahl says the proceeds were supposed to be held for their son.

Marg Helgenberger, the star of "CSI," is going back on the singles market -- the actress officially filed for divorce from her husband, Alan Rosenberg.

In divorce papers filed yesterday in L.A. County Superior Court, Helgenberger cited irreconcilable differences with Rosenberg, who happens to be the president of the Screen Actors Guild -- S.A.G.

The two were married back in 1989, but separated last December.

When asked about their relationship, Kate Gosselin told our camera "We're good."

"Just keep the wool over your eyes honey and pretend we're really, really happy."

The guy who played Jack on "Dawson's Creek" has filed for divorce -- probably because he doesn't want to wait for his life to be over.

Kerr Smith and his wife Harmoni Everett (who played Josie's manicurist in "Josie and the Pussycats") were married a few months shy of six years. He cited irreconcilable differences.

They have no children.

The ex of Jimmy Iovine may have thought she was the one doing the dumping when she filed for divorce last week, but apparently Jimmy checked out of the marriage long before she did.

According to Jimmy's response filed yesterday, the couple separated on January 15. But Vicky Iovine is under the impression the marriage ended a month later on February 15.

And get this -- despite being worth more than almost everyone, Jimmy wants each side to pay their own legal fees.

Golddigger Alert!! -- The incredibly rich music mogul who built Interscope Records -- and "discovered" Eminem -- is about to be single.

David Hasselhoff's 20 degrees off-center ex-wife, Pamela Bach, was popped for felony DUI last night.

Matthew Nelson, the long, blonde haired guy from the 90s band Nelson, is pulling the plug on his marriage ... and get this -- the former rocker is the one asking for spousal support.

Nelson filed for divorce in L.A. County Superior Court on Monday, citing irreconcilable differences with his wife Yvette Stefens -- a former model who also played in the 2005 Lingerie Bowl.

Matthew and Yvette were married in 1995 ... about 4 years after the band had already ceased to be relevant.

TMZ has learned Steve Wynn's marriage is over for a second time -- a divorce petition was filed in Clark County Court Las Vegas.

Attention gentlemen -- and women, perhaps -- Anne Heche is single again.

A judgment was entered in Heche's divorce from Coleman Laffoon on March 4, meaning they are officially divorced.

TheyΩ get 50/50 custody of Homer. Anne has to pay Coleman $3,700 a month in child support. Anne is also paying Coleman a lump sum of $515,000.

Kevin spent the night at Harrahs Casino -- possibly doubling down on the $5k. Wouldn't be a shock. After all, he has dice tattooed on his wrist.

A-Fraud met up with ex-wife Cynthia at a P.F. Chang's in Tampa on Sunday.

No press conference required.
